LRT AN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY
It’s ice on the overhead power system!
Recommended Videos
It’s spalling on the wheel bearings!
It’s a total freaking mess!
But Ottawa’s LRT has one useful purpose. It can be a field trip for university engineering students from across Canada to observe, experience and perhaps practise what they have learned on site about how NOT to build and run a mass mess (sic) transit system.
It’s one of those “teachable moments” or an “educational opportunity.” Heaven knows our LRT is not good for anything else.

THE FUTURE FOR FLOOR-CROSSERS
While there are apparently no rules against floor-crossers in our Parliament — something that should immediately be changed — our elitist prime minister is making this sneaky and underhanded method of increasing the number of Liberal members an art form.
We can only hope that, when the next election is called, the unscrupulous MPs who have crossed will be voted out by the people who originally voted them in, due to their duplicity, and Carney Man will yet fail and be denied his desired majority.

PILL INSTEAD OF POT?
For far too long now, Canadians have been supporting the BS from our government, which promises everything and does nothing but spend instead of actually working to get the wealth we have to market and actually help us and other countries.
If only there was a pill to smarten people up because legal marijuana doesn’t seem to be working.

A CARNEY AUTOCRACY
There are new federal department guidelines that call for internal chat posts between bureaucrats to be deleted after 15 days and emails after 30. This will prevent information from being gained, down the road, through access to information requests.
This is not how any federal government should operate. It is elected to serve Canadians, not itself.
Mark Carney will likely gain a majority not by the voters, but through secret deals with four unethical MPs.
We no longer have an open democracy in Canada, but instead a Carney autocracy operating in complete secrecy.
